Hi .

If i had the time to do something like that then i would without second
thought , I have as a matter of course re-recorded all of my audio in ogg
and flacc formats depending on what they are .

As for converting content in general there is more that enough processing
power out there in the wild to carry out mas conversions in spare cycles on
PC's left running ( Linux systems of course)...
